Lodge Lecture

This week we were able to welcome back a previous guest, Neo Pachisia who chose this week of the new Moon in Aquarius to give a talk on 'Manifesting with the Moon'. The new Moon should be a time of new beginnings, a time when the Sun integrates with the Moon and we should be able to manifest what we want. But as she discovered by going round the room, what happens is that the Moon, which rules the unconscious, brings forth all our beliefs and if they are negative, then we sabotage ourselves and prevent ourselves from getting to the next level. By examining our charts, particularly the 4/8 and 12th houses, we could discover our negative beliefs. The Moon rules the 4th house so we get conditioned by home, and as the Sun rules the 5th house we know what is expected of us. Mercury in the chart shows us where our dreams are and Uranus shows where our drive for perfection, discontent and anxiety lies.

She went on to explain how she deals with a new Moon, how she uses the days of the dark moon to release things. She gives something away and does her own form of ritual, then she is ready to make her intent for the coming month.

With the cycle of the Moon around the chart in the following month you will see by each quarter day how the intent is progressing. One has to consider the New Moon sign, the house, the planets which rule the sign, how the aspects transit the natal chart and any planets in the sign of the the new moon, i.e. in this case Aquarius. It was agreed in the room that this particular New Moon chart did not bode well and could indicate war. It was certainly a time of change and that is very prominent in the world at the moment.

The second week of Sue Farebrother's classes on the Nodes of the Moon proved a sell-out again. She looked at the planetary involvement around the nodal axis. She told us to remember that it is an axis and most planets in aspect will aspect both nodes, except a trine or sextile to one or the other. She went on to look at length of the charts of Princess Margaret who had a 1st/7th axis and of Ghandi, who had an M/C, I/C axis. Sue also looked at two charts of people in the room.

She finally looked at aspects of two people in a synastry situation. Planets conjunct or in close aspect can create strong links between two people. This can definitely manifest the Karmic side of the Nodal axis. Next week it will be The Transiting Nodes.
